Many earlier documents, apparently before November of 2006, are either missing completely or horribly burned.

Pika-Bunny **I'd like to ask that, like the Luna Moth in your store, she go through the life cycle of the ladybug, with the toddler stage being the larva (see photo reference below). Please colour her toddler stage as you see fit to match the colours and markings of the photo ^_^ <3 Also, I don't think I want her to have the extra set of arms O.o
Form:
Name: Raisa (rose in Russian)
Gender: female
Animal: seven spotted ladybug
http://www.animalpicturesarchive.com/Arch03/1114651615.jpg
http://sh1ft.org/shutterbug/photographs/10D_ladybuginpurple.jpg
larva - http://www.uky.edu/Ag/Entomology/entfacts/images/ladybuglarva.jpg
Hairstyle: She has shortish, red hair with the ends flipped out, with a bit of a wave through it. In the front she has a streak of black and white, side by side, that she tucks behind one ear.
Hair Colour: cherry red, black + white streak
Skin color: dark gray, with white areas on the face (see markings) She also has light freckles across her nose (in white) and a sassy little smile.
Clothing:
for toddler: shiney orange galoshes, golden yellow skort
older style: Cute, durable and modern. She likes to wear a long-sleeved, long-legged black leotard under everything (instead of stupid panties - her words). An outdoor loving little girl, she also has red gloves and a red and black raincoat with a matching umbrella. On dry days she likes to wear a red tank top over her leotard with a matching red skort (skirt+shorts) and little red hiking boots. Of course all Raisa's shirts are fitted with wing-slits so she can buzz them freely.
Personality: This little girl loves to get around! A bundle of energy she runs all adults ragged no matter the weather. Only the deepest snow can slow her down. Her favorite things are plants and she loves to care for them as best she can at this age (the hose is her favorite tool). She is hard working, friendly, protective and down to earth, but when she gets grumpy she han be as stubborn as a rock. This may lead to problems as she gets older.
Raisa loves the out of doors; wild places and parks, greenhouses and farms, anywhere that has growing things. She doesn't understand why Pika doesn't love gardening as much as she does (must have something to do with the mud) but tries her best to get her outside.
Raisa is also lucky. This may have something to do with her seven spots but whenever she meets someone for the first time, if they make a good impression on her then something good will happen to them that week. Sometimes it makes her a little grumpy though because she can't seem to use the luck on herself.
Markings: freckles (white if looks good, otherwise black?) & 2 white areas, basically looking like white eye shadow, from the top lashes to the eyebrow line.
Eye color: Her eyes match the dusty blue hue of a ladybug larva.
Eye style: large, beautiful
Pose: Something cute without being too akward <3
Extra: Her back has a set or translucent wings with a hard, red shell cover to protect them. She has seven spots on her shell case. She also has a cute little pair of shiney, black feelers poking up through her hair.
Interesting Facts: Ladybird adults are oval, range in length from about 1 mm to over 10 mm depending upon species, and have wings. Females on average are larger than males. Adult ladybirds are able to reflex-bleed from the leg joints). The blood is repellent by having a repulsive smell as well as containing (in some species) various alkaloid toxins. The hemolymph (blood) is yellow and its repellency and toxicity are believed to be a defense mechanism against predators. Some people have claimed that the bright (red on black, or black on red) colors of some adult ladybirds are aposematic, which is to say that the colors warn would-be predators that the beetles are distasteful or toxic.
Greenhouses provide a habitat for plants and pests and biological control agents that differs from outdoor habitats. Typically, culture begins with initiation of a crop of plants that has no pests (or seems to have none). But then, pests somehow show up, and there are no ladybirds to control them unless action is taken to get some. The situation is very much like that of classical biological control, and ladybirds (and/or other beneficial organisms) released into the greenhouses may control the pests and eliminate need to use chemical pesticides. Here, the question is not about funding new research into a new pest, but into buying the right numbers of ladybirds of the appropriate species to control a pest that has already been researched. For many such situations, ladybirds can be purchased from commercial supply houses to control pests.
